The moment one thinks Tucker Carlson couldn't get any more infantile

[lambchopp59]

On his Thursday night program, Carlson sought to stir up his sadism and prejudice into something that he thought would be fun. So he presented his audience of deplorables with a Twitter poll to rename the Monkeypox. Because what could be funnier than some jokey names for a disease that is contagious and painful?

Carlson's poll included the following suggestions for a new name: Hunter Hives; Midterm Variant; Adam Schiffilis; and Sclong Covid. Note that three of the choice were overtly political, albeit typically infantile in nature. The fourth was profane and purposefully derogatory toward gay men who are among the sufferers. And of course, it was the fourth that won.

2. It's snappy n easy to remember.. that's what he does

Deliberately mocking n offensive and intended to incite. That’s what he does. I get the free speech stuff but..but it’s n my opinion, he’s taking it to violence.

3. What does any of those names have anything to do with monkeypox?

Is this another one of their “hoaxes”?
Tucker Carlson is the perfect example of someone who will do anything for fame and fortune. Even if the fame is of the infamous variety. He would make a great republicon politician. What a perfect twit.

6. Gay men have been particularly at risk

8. We don't have enough information to determine what that means.

That just lulls heterosexuals into thinking they can’t get it which is completely untrue.

From the photos I’ve seen, I will take the vaccine as soon as it comes available.

4. What a puerile little putz he is.

And he thinks he's sooooooooooooooo very clever.

Sophomoric simpleton.

5. Willie GEIST was his producer on msnbc - I wonder what their relationship is.

At least on the surface they're on opposite tacks politically, unless it's a feint for GEIST career wise. They're both media legacy kids.

Am fairly sure it was msnbc, might have been CNN. In the afternoon in the bowtie days. F***er would bromance him all up, would get him out in front of the camera from behind the scenes.

7. Speaking of diseases

*ucker Carlson is a CANCER on America
